los angeles The Best Carmageddon Deals

For Southern California residents in and around the 405, Carmageddon is coming and there's nothing you can do about it, so you may as well live it up with one of the best Carmageddon deals available during the weekend. Forget spending time in the world's largest traffic jam, skip the highway and save a few bucks by using one of many deals offered by these shops, services, restaurants and hotels.

While many will be getting out of town during the weekend of July 15 to July 17, 2011, with hopes of escaping the madness accompanied by closing a 10-mile stretch of highway, others will pack the best hiking trails in the city or cash in on deals like cheap cocktails, clothing discounts, reduced-priced eats and free transportation. Sorry, no discounts on shirts saying "I survived Carmageddon 2011."
